A couple of questions: 1) Is the machine on a RAID partition or some other form of storage which, for whatever reason, isn't mounted? I have that problem now and again on my compute server. The Linux kernel guys haven't made my drive D & E disk interfaces 100% reliable as of yet so in my case I might have to reboot once or twice to get the drives recognized. 2) What kernel are you using. I saw a few messages this week on Virtualbox problems when running the 2.6.38 series kernel. I'm running 2.6.38 and haven't seen them myself though. Good luck, Mark
